Tonight, all 16 competitors are out of Africa and live with us in Los Angeles,

the first time they've all been together since their days in Kenya. We have an

audience of fans, friends, and family this evening, particularly joyful, the

family of Ethan, our ultimate survivor and million -dollar winner.

Congratulations. Thanks.

Congratulations.

The floor is yours. Want to give a big shout out to Diane and mom and your

brothers? Hi, guys.

Thanks for coming.

Thanks for coming.

They're real happy. They're really happy. They're flying home first class.

the favorite.

What do you think the difference was?

Oh, man.

I don't know. You know, everyone, even though I'm up here the winter, you know,

I couldn't have gotten here without everyone else.

And the difference, a little bit of luck involved and making.

Lacking alliances and sticking to your alliances and stick into your your gut

and I'm not your gut. Sorry Yeah, exactly but having

faith in others when when there were so many times when things could have gone

different directions and you know, we stayed true and I think That's what got

to the end.

Let me come back to in a moment, but it's just in case some reminders are

Let me do a few reintroductions With us tonight in the order they left Africa

are poster worker Diane Ogden, Deputy Sheriff Jesse Camacho, dentist Carl

Belacchione, and the Harvard -based hugger Linda Spencer.

Bartender Silas Gaither was the first one booted out after the surprising

switch. Then came Lindsay Richter.

You haven't seen all of her until you've seen her audition tape, which you will

see a bit later.

Don't look at me. You made it.

Lindsay was followed by the bean lover.

Clarence Black.

Then the members of the jury.

First juror, first whatever.

Kelly Goldsmith.

The ever flamboyant, Brandon Quinton.

His movie date, Frank Garrison.

Then Lil' Kim, Kim Powers.

And the T -Bird, Teresa Cooper.

And of course, our final four.

The goat farmer, known as Big Tom, Tom Buchanan.

Grandmaster Lex.

And Fandenberg.

Big Kim, Kim Johnson, and Ethan Zorn, now a millionaire.

So what do you think the difference was? That you had the most respect that you

did as mom said, that you could play with integrity and come home and not be

ashamed of what you'd done?

I think that had a lot to do with it. But, you know, I think a lot of people

played that way.

And I think it's a very important part of the game.

You know, you don't have to be evil and backstabbing and a villain to do well in

this game. You can be yourself, you can play yourself, you can play fair, you

can try as hard as you can and just hope for the best.

Kim, why'd you decide to do a one -on -one with Ethan rather than Lex?

As I said, it probably was the hardest decision that I've ever had to make

because I really, really...

respected and cared about them both i mean when you're out there as many hours

as we were together you get to know people pretty well and i guess what it

finally came down to was um i don't really think that i could have won

either one of them and so i had to make a decision i felt

that lex had won so many things already and and not i mean obviously not the

million sorry but

I guess what it finally came down to is if I couldn't win it, who did I next

feel deserved it the most?

And you didn't think you could prevail against Lex? No, I did not. You know

Because honestly, and I know what we've seen, but Lex was very well

liked among all of us. A lot of the comments that he made that seemed

were not made to us. They were made.

without our being able to hear it. And so I think that... Kelly may disagree

with you a little bit. But Kelly's one vote.

I mean, I really, I mean, I could name four people right now that I know would

have voted for Lex instead of me.

So I think, and maybe instead of a 5 -2, it might have been a 4 -3. You know, I

don't know. But I didn't feel any more confident.

Lex, you said at the end, I've worked so hard to get this far.

In retrospect, was...

Was your undoing being out in front too much?

You know, I didn't know any other way to play the game. I mean, all of us went

out there. We're all competitors.

When you're put in this competition, sure, you can think, well, maybe I

pull back or I should hold back here.

But out there, the only thing I knew was how to just push as hard as I could,

try to kick ass as much as I could, and to win. I mean, that was whether it

might have been strategically not the best move.

The only thing I could think of out there to do, the only thing I could do,

to go out there to win, and to win as much as possible, and to win everything.

Thomas, is it satisfying to have come so close, or frustrating for the same

reason?

Well, it's frustrating. I'd rather won.

I'd rather be over that million dollars.

He's going back first class, and I'm going to walk.

Was there a moment when you thought, after you made the final four, that,

can win this thing? Did you think you could?

I sure do.

Obviously, a mental challenge wasn't what I was hoping for.

You know, I'm a goat farmer, not a rocket scientist.

But, you know, honestly, you know, I felt real good. And we had a strong

alliance. It proved all the way through with Ethan, Lex, and me. And I felt real

confident. And, you know, but.

But you've failed more than me.

I can leave it. Let me go to the jurors.

Did you all have your minds made up before the speeches? Well, not you,

Obviously. I did.

I actually did. I was totally going to vote for Ethan. There was no question in

my mind.

And just because he dissed you on your own question? Yeah, I just wanted to

a little bit at Frank and tell him I was mad that, you know, he beat me out by

three days. And then, you know, Ethan's like, you don't deserve it. I was like,

how can I vote for that?

And Kelly, the number?

Help me out. Come on. And, you know, and to be honest, Ethan's right. I didn't

want to put in the mental effort. I didn't think they deserved it. They

butt out, and I said, you take this. Pick a number.

And that's how you came up with it? Yeah, I just knew that it would make

squirm a little bit.

Yeah? Mm -hmm.

Frank, Kim, T -Berg, what did you want to hear them say at the end? Or was your

mind pretty made up?

I think for me, my mind had been made up a long prior, you know, earlier weeks.

And I'd also talk to Ethan, and I'd say, Ethan, if it can't be me, then um then

you're my man so didn't i take that early on so i knew way way ahead yeah

you said it was a hard vote for you right real hard ultimately what swung it

kim jay i loved kim jay's answer i don't know it was really sweet you know i it

was a hard a very hard decision but um kim impressed me she is 56 years old and

she was out there just kicking some serious butt and to you know I'm 30, and

was really hard on me. And to see her as a female, she's a role model.

She's a role model.

And Frank, for you, what was the determining factor? Why Ethan? Why not

mind was made up. I met Ethan all the way as a soccer player.

His interest in working with children, you know, helping them come up through

there, I just made up my mind. It was just a common denominator there, and it

was a quick vote.

Silas, I remember saying early on in this game that the game was 90 % luck,

skill.

having prevailed, what equation would you give it?

It's not 90 % luck. I don't think that.

I think there is a lot of luck involved.

The whole switcheroo thing, I was unlucky for some people, like Silas.

He was a fish out of water once he came over to us, and that could have been any

one of us. And it was just unlucky for him. And in that sense, luck is a huge

part of it. Did the best player win?

I think so. Kim, did the best player win? I think so. Lex?

I do.

Tom?

I thought I was the best.

Okay.

If I can't win, I'll... Yeah. Okay. Well, but really, I had an alliance with

Lex and Ethan. Yeah. And...

If it wasn't me, I wouldn't... All right, well, let me tell you something.

we come back, we'll talk about alliances, and we'll talk of friends and

mate, in the heat of competition. Stay with us. Our Survivor Africa reunion

continues. Live from Los Angeles, right after this.

Go ahead. The floor is yours.

I thought I was going to be a star when I are.

Instead of I are, I ain't.

Well, you are.

It's a lot of fun. Yeah? A lot of fun. I met 15 different great friends, and I

don't know what else I could ask for. Well, you know, we kind of slugged this

section, friends and enemies, and I know there are no enemies here.

But you made an interesting comment, Ethan. When you said out there you're...

You're always surrounded by people, but you felt so alone.

I did. Is that because you couldn't trust anybody?

Well, there's always, no matter how tight our lines was, no matter how good

friends you are with everyone, there's always that little bit in the back of

your mind where, you know, these people could be playing me, you know, they

could turn on me at any minute, so you can never fully, I never felt I could

fully trust anyone. Yeah. Because, you know, ultimately everyone wants to win.

You're the last one standing. Diane, you were the first one off.

Is that embarrassing?

Oh, yeah, no.

I mean, I was kind of relieved to go first, you know, being sick.

It was too hard for me, and it didn't really bother me.

If you hadn't taken the map, do you think you would have lasted longer?

Yeah. I think it was the water that, you know, that got dumped. Yeah.

You were the first one to faint.

Jessie, you were the first one to lose.

Yeah!

To lose your breakfast.

Why? Because you were unprepared?

You know what? I'm not really sure. I started drinking the water from the gore

as soon as we got on the bus, and my stomach was just not taking it right.

But, yeah, I puked. Oh, well.

That's life.

What were you going to say, Silas?

In Diane's defense, I mean...

Y 'all, she was picked out of like 50 ,000 people, so I wouldn't say that was,

you know, disappointing at all. I'm very proud of Diane for being here. No

doubt.

Okay,

all right.

But Diane's plight brings us to the first cringe moment of the series, which

the bean.

Okay?

Tom, if I had a gun, I'd shoot you?

Did I steal your ring?

Isn't that a little over the top?

Hell yeah.

Thank God that wasn't my luxury item.

Over the top, I'd say not. Man, you know.

That was just a comment out there. If he didn't shoot him, I would have cut his

throat. Yeah, maybe.

Clarence, why'd you take it so well? I mean, I'll be honest with you. There are

a lot of folks sitting at home going, yo, I would not take that.

Man,

that was crazy.

You know, because I'm just thinking, man, I'm hungry. Like, I lost all

to think rationally after that. You know, all I could think, all I could see

my... I was just a victim of hunger.

I was just starving.

So, you know, I ate it, and it wasn't until I was sitting there, and these

people was yelling at me, and honestly, the reason I didn't go off was because I

was thinking about food.

Like, I just ate them beans, and I wanted more, man, but I couldn't believe

everybody was that mad. Like, I ain't seen white people that mad since O .J.

acquitted.

Honestly,

in behalf of Men Clarence, probably Men Clarence, after that, We work

hand in hand after, you know, Clarence took it like a man. And, you know, I

don't know.

But to walk away from here after, you know, after having hard feelings and all

the comments we made, me and Clarence is probably as tight as anybody on the

show. Brandon and Frank, can you say the same thing?

We're good friends. Yeah, we're friendly.

That antipathy was pretty real, yeah?

I mean, I'd rather be gone in three days than have anybody think I sided with

Frank.

And I was gone in three days, but yeah, it was real out there. You know when you

spend that much time with somebody that is so different from you and you hate

them so much?

Hate's a strong word, isn't it?

No, it's good. It's a good word, though.

Yeah, it's a real word when you're out there.

And, you know, then I came home and he put his daughters on the phone. And, you

know, then you'd see him for real people. But out there, no, I couldn't

him. He wasn't the only one, but just one of many I didn't like.

Frank,

he used the word hate. I mean, how would you characterize your feelings for

Brandon out there? Brandon is just another human being. I coexisted with

don't agree with his lifestyle, but, you know.

Yeah, but he wasn't asking you about his lifestyle.

No, but I mean, he just existed. Besides, there was no hunting allowed

I couldn't do anything about it.

Did you dislike him intensely, as intensely as he disliked you? Not at

just needed to keep our distance in space.

Yeah.

People were assuming that.

Well, I mean, look, Carl was up there nodding his head behind you because Carl

and Linda had problems.

And T -Bird, too, had problems with your whole tribe. Had I not taken Frank to

the waterhole for a break, he would have killed him.

You know, you guys, you had a split along generational lines. You were the

Geritol gang, right?

You're aware that Kim said you guys could have handled it better, that as

older people, you should have found a way to work together.

Linda? We were trying, but I tell you, those alliances split so quickly, right

away. And that was our downfall.

And that's why there are no Samboro people sitting in the front row.

She's right.

T -Bird, should you have handled it better? Right. I was going to say, we

to pull it together. And then when the tribes were blocked and we went over to

Buran, then once we got Brandon and Kim and Frank, there was still a division

that we tried our best to pull together.

I think the tribal elders, we like to say tribal elders.

We did our best to try to pull it together.

Yeah. Lindsay, why were you so nasty to him?

Excuse me. Can we address this to all of us? Okay. Why were you so nasty to him?

You know what? What really, I mean, you know, there's so many different stories

of what happened out there. But what really happened is I think.

people just didn't really understand what was going on most of the time. And

things just kind of happened so fast, and you thought you were doing the right

thing one minute, and then the next minute you were questioning it. And for

I mean, not to mention the emotional outburst and the whining, I just think I

panicked a lot and I became paranoid, and I just wanted to stick with the

who I felt like were going to protect me.

And then it just turned nasty, and nobody wanted it to, and nobody meant

to happen. It just did, and there was just no turning back. It was not...

intentional by any mean.

But it was, you know, you couldn't change it. There was no way to go back.

was too far into it. Is there anybody here who didn't have an alliance of some

sort and didn't try for one?

Jesse,

you didn't?

I've never watched Survivors. My first time actually was watching a full

Survivor. So I was totally unprepared. Six days audio some of those. You didn't

try for one either, huh? No, it's a funny thing because after I stole that

just nobody liked me for a little while.

Nobody wanted to take me away.

Hey, look, we're going to disappear for a moment. When we come back, we'll talk

about the hardships of Africa.

But first, as we get into a break, let's head to New York City where...

I'm told every Thursday a group of Ethan's friends gather to watch Survivor

cheer him on. Tonight they're gathered at a bar and they are cheering.

I think I can.

I think I can. I know I can.

Woo -hoo!

I tell you, this Survivor stuff, I think I can do it.

You want me to be on Survivor?

Lens, we watched the original upstairs. What were you thinking?

I was painted.

You're asking me why I did it? Yeah, it's all right. To be honest, I had no

idea.

how to get on a show like this. I never really watched it. I didn't know what

the videos were like. And my friends and I got together, and they said, you

know, you're a great athlete. Let's show all your athletic endeavors, what you

do, snowboard, mountain bike, you know. And three days before it was due, I

said, that's lame.

They're not going to care if I mountain bike. So my friend Hannah took out her

body paints and painted flowers on me and said, you know, you've got to shock

them. You've got to stand out. And I guess it worked. It did.

Is it fair to say that Africa was harder than you thought it was going to be?

Oh, absolutely.

Would that apply to everybody here?

Yeah.

I mean, I'm an athlete. I compete regularly in a tough sport, and nothing

prepare you for this.

I'm looking at a quote, and Lex, it was you, who said not a single one of us

came here thinking the danger was going to be real.

Well, I mean, we didn't. You know, I remember telling some of my friends

I left.

They knew that I had applied for the show, and I said, you know, Survivor,

like reality TV.

Half of it's reality, half it's TV.

But I think all of us were universally shocked to find out that the animal

danger was completely real.

And the challenges, I mean, we all came out there thinking, oh, these are going

to be fun games.

They're going to be like little Olympic games or whatever.

But when we did that boulder challenge, that thing was so damn heavy. And when

we started pushing it, and that thing started rolling on our legs.

Like, you know, if one of us falls and this thing rolls over our head, it will

crush my head like a walnut.

We could die out here. I mean, it sounds so dramatic, but, God, the challenges

were nuts.

You can see right... Oh, there it takes... It just took him out.

The game was so brutally hard, and when I came home, the first thing I told all

my friends was, you know, when I was able to talk about it was, it was so

harder. You guys have no idea. And as a Survivor fan, before I went on the show,

I mean, we used to watch them play. This is hard, but it's TV. It's just

television. It's hard.

And the threats were real. I mean, Kim, you were crying when you heard those

lions outside the bowl, yeah?

Yes, I was.

Yeah. You could see them. I mean, you know, you could see their eyes and you

could see their threats. But I'm sure most people believe that if that lion

gotten within three feet of that fence, there'd have been a Mark Burnett rocket

coming through.

Mark Burnett was sleeping very soundly in that lion.

And there'd have been a big hole in the ground where the lion was. Not true?

That lion was three feet from us. I mean, it was Ethan and I, the picket

and the lion. And that's for real. And that's pretty scary.

You know, I don't know what anybody would have done if that lion decided to

the boom off. I don't know. But I can tell you, from our perspective, there

no one else around but me and Ethan and the lion. And then, of course, Big Tom

to the rescue. But it was scary. It was very scary.

Always Big Tom to the rescue. Always Big Tom. I think we have a question for Big

Tom up here. Bring it up. This question is for Big Tom. How's your boil?

Brand new.

I'm in good shape now. It's busted, gone, forgot about.

It was ugly. It was disgusting.

The bull?

Yeah.

But let's talk a little bit about some of the hardships you went through. I

mean, it wasn't just the harshness of the environment, but also, Kel, I mean,

how difficult was it that there was no...

No relief from it. There was no place where you can go to water and just hang

out. There was no place to just take a walk and be by yourself.

It was really intense. It was a 24 -hour -a -day game. You couldn't even really

afford to sleep because people were up talking about you all night. You had to

be on your toes constantly.

And, yeah, it was a wild ride, but I think we all definitely enjoyed it.

Frank, I saw where you said that if this had been in Chile, you wouldn't have

gone. I mean, the allure was.

Africa was definitely the allure. But like everybody here would agree, it was

tough. And day two, I know speaking for my tribe, we were struggling. I mean, it

was 100 degrees.

We had no water. We just got fire.

And it was all real.

CBS wasn't there handing out water bottles.

Did you think they would be?

Absolutely not.

Guy in front of you called it vegetarian survivor.

He thought it was pretty easy. Frank? Yeah.

He thought it was easy? I don't think he thought it was easy.

It was challenging. It was very challenging.

Disagree, Frank?

Frank? The part for me was the mental part of it, the people part of it.

The people part of it.

I disagree with Alex. The animals were there. I didn't care about the animals.

didn't care about the heat.

No, because you were up there talking to the elephants. I didn't like that.

But the people, the stress on the people because you just couldn't blow my fuse

or do something. Did you really think you could talk to that elephant?

Absolutely. You can communicate with anything if you try hard. Really?

You had it going, huh?

Speaking of relief, go 39 days without toilet paper.

There's no relief.

Want to repeat that for me? 39 days without?

Toilet paper.

That's my relief.

Really? I mean, tough.

Everybody thinks it's a holiday end when, you know, just simple little

things you take for granted, just brushing your teeth, or toiletries, or

Everyday things is a challenge.

There's not only hardship, but the place is somewhat magical. And you two got a

taste of it when you did the goat bartering, right? I mean, it's a

experience that's got to rank high on your list, yeah?

Definitely.

Unbelievable.

You know, you might be surprised to learn that we did a little research on

And about what a goat is really worth. No.

No, this is the truth.

As I recall, you got... What, $1 ,600 for the two of them?

$1 ,800?

I don't know. I think that's about right. Around there, yeah.

You'll be happy to know that when we inquired, a goat is worth between $700

$900. You got top dollar. You got top dollar. But the french fries that we

bought, those aren't worth, like, $1 ,400.

We paid $1 ,400 for those. French fries and a couple of drinks.

He had a topper of experience, though, when you went to Wamba Hospital, yeah?

I mean, it sounds so cliched, but it was really life -changing.

I mean, when we were watching it, watching the episode last week, I don't

how many times my phone rang. It was off the hook when I got the truck. And I

was so excited, but I got to see that hospital. I mean, it was just, it was

really, I mean, it really opened my eyes. And to get that experience and to

it from the inside out and to meet somebody.

The doctor, the good Italian doctor there, who is really literally a living

saint. I mean, you can't help but have that change you. And it's special to two

of your cast members, both of whom, Linda and T -Bird, lost a brother to

It had to be a very special moment. Very special moment, yeah.

In fact, once I was voted out and I had an opportunity to travel around with

this health care clinic that focused on AIDS awareness and family planning, so I

was fortunate enough to have close to two weeks.

of traveling around with nurses who were caring for sick people.

So it was very special. And in fact, I saw when he was driving off the

ambulance, you had tears in your eyes, T -Bird.

Yeah, I did. You were crying. You really wanted that.

Well, no, actually, when they lifted up the back of the truck in the first box I

saw, it said HIV test kits.

All of a sudden, I knew, you know, what it was and where they were going. And it

was actually tears of joy because I knew that.

They were going to be put to good use, and they needed to be there.

And, of course, that Lex was the one that got to go. You know, unlike his

reputation through all this, he's a very sensitive, wonderful guy.

And to think that he was going to be representing us, if it couldn't have

me, once again, it was perfect that he went. You know what's so sweet? That's

the first thing she told me when I got back. She said, I'm so happy you were

able to do it.

And she truly, those tears were tears of joy that people were being helped.

As we take a break here, as we take a break, watch this, Big Tom. Let's check

on a party going on in Tom's hometown, Rich Valley, Virginia.

You should put me on Survivor, and let me tell you why.

On the application, you asked if we had any body art or tattoos, and I do. I

have a small red rose tattoo.

but you have to put me on the show to find out where it is.

It's under this bubble somewhere.

Oh, Kim, this wed -wed woes. Where was it?

Big Tom knows.

I kiss, but I don't tell.

The question is, does Sandy know Big Tom knows?

Yeah, we talked about it last night.

She's not too upset with me. Okay.

Everything's all right.

Go ahead. I'm sorry. Don't let me stop you.

She said you had to be on the show, so I can't tell anybody.

Okay. How conscious, when you're out there, are you of how you're being

portrayed?

I mean, is it an omnipresent thing, or do you think about it just every now and

then? Silas?

Boy, that's an interesting question.

You know, you're really not. You're out there, at least from my point of view,

out there like Lex to play the game and to win the game. Like Teresa, I mean,

there's only one winner, you know, and you're out there to win. This isn't a

team game.

And I think that, you know, you do different things to, you know, try to

alliance. Yeah, but when you say stuff, do stuff. Are you aware of how it's

being perceived back home and how it's going to haunt you when you leave there?

No. The cameras were on you 24 -7. I was definitely aware.

You were aware.

I disagree.

As long as we were, those cameras become so normal that you forget that they are

there. You totally forget that they're there. And if you get real hungry, it

don't matter. You don't need to eat.

If you get really upset, it don't matter.

Brandon, you were aware of them, huh? No, I wasn't. You were. I totally, after

like the first three days, I totally started forgetting that they were there.

I would notice more when the still photographer was around because his

made a noise.

When Monty, well, anyway, it, like, made this clicking noise. Not always jerk,

and I would recognize that. But, yeah, I mean, you're there so long that it's

like second nature. But you weren't there. You told me to make a statement.

What was it? You know, I just hate, I hate 20 -something gay people on TV

now. I don't ever see myself.

I see these really promiscuous people, and, I don't know, they're caught up in

this whole party scene, and that's not me.

I don't know, I thought it would be nice for somebody to see, you know, you can

be kind of flamboyant and have a good time and, you know, go out and not be

of those people and caught up in that lifestyle.

I didn't succeed with proving that point, but I just looked like a raven

but that's okay too.

And Kelly, you said you went there because you didn't want to be viewed as

sexy one like Jerry or the sweet one like Elizabeth or the dumb one like

I mean, you wanted to be viewed as the smart one.

No, it wasn't that I wanted to be viewed as the smart one. I've done a lot of

research on gender in the media and the way women are portrayed, and oftentimes

they fall into one of two roles. Either the villain, like Jerry kind of came

off, or the innocent ingenue like Elizabeth.

And my only goal was to play it like a real person, to just go out there, use

whatever skills I had, which are few and far between, and use my intellect if I

could, just hang around and have a good time.

Yeah. Lindsay, you were disappointed in how you came off, right?

Yeah, I was a little, you know, I can't say I was disappointed. At first, it was

a little hard to take because, you know, I really didn't think I was mean or

evil or did anything that it would come across as bad. But I definitely had my

moments out there. I was up and down and all around. I was emotional. I said

things I shouldn't have.

You know, it was shocking at first because I made a lot of really good

and I just didn't think that I could ever be portrayed as being the villain.

But, you know, I was emotional out there, and emotions can get the best of

and they got the best of me, and, you know, I laughed at it.

It's okay.

It's all right. Just let it all out. It's all right.

We started this section talking about a tattoo. I'm going to finish talking

about a tattoo. What's the fascination?

God, I think much of the chagrin of my mom and dad, I started wanting them when

I was like five or six years old.

You know, I waited a while, but now I just can't seem to stop. Yeah?

And if River comes to you and says, Dad, I want to get one. He can get one as

soon as he's 18.

Oh, we have an age limit.

That's the law.

Okay. If I had gotten half of my tattoos before I was 18, I'd probably be

covered with, you know, I'd have an Iron Maiden rocker on my chest, and, you

know, I'd have a bunch of stuff I probably don't want.

Barney, if I started at six.

No, no, no, no.

Captain Kangaroo, big Captain Kangaroo on my chest. They look good. They look

good. Coming up, we're going to talk of images and perceptions and how often

both can be at odds with reality.

But first, Big Tom gets his big break. Go ahead. Give us a sample. You gave us

sample of Musical Talent Africa.

If you missed it, here he is with an encore. Big Tom, the floor is yours.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Hey, bartender, fix me a potty. Oh, Big Tom, the lover's body. Open the

windows, close the doors. Throw that spurt in the back, girl.

In the gym, hours on the court, cardiovascular,

pumping iron, all state number one.

You know what, stand up for a second. I was telling her earlier, now I've done

all of these, you've got the best abs anybody ever had on the show. Give us a

shot. Give us a shot.

Kim's got better abs?

Really? Kim's better.

Show them off, baby. That's all right. Thank you. No?

Look, before we...

Before we proceed, let's do a preview. Having tested competitors in the African

wilderness, the Australian outback, and the South China Sea, survivors on the

move again, revving up for a fourth season of surprises.

Jeff Probst has the first look at what the next set of survivors will face in a

place both exotic and dangerous and about as far from civilization as one

get.

new strangers would be abandoned in the middle of the most remote place on

earth, the Marquesas, part of Tahiti's mystical islands in the South Pacific,

thousands of miles from the nearest continent.

It is a place of rugged beauty, with magnificent waterfalls, towering banyan

trees, and a backyard home to some of the most exotic and dangerous sea life

the world.

This island.

with a history steeped in superstition and violence, would be their home for 39

days. And for the first time, these survivors will be given no rations

whatsoever, no food, no water, no fire.

With only the barest of essentials, they must fend for themselves, utilizing the

resources of the land and their own survival skills.

It is a difficult but not impossible task.

Everything they need to survive.

is on the island.

Their success will depend upon their ability to work together to create a new

society while battling the elements and each other.

It is the ultimate challenge.

Outwin, outplay, outlast until only one remains and emerges as the sole

survivor.

Survivor Marquesas, given the chance, who'd go?

Oh, yeah.

Come on, all of you do it all again?

They don't get their own food.

You'd do it all again?

Let me ask you something. Does it help to have watched before? I mean, I ask

that because Brandon, Kelly, Linda, arguably you three were the biggest

fans of all going into this. You see where we ended up. Well, that's why I'm

asking. How much does it help?

It doesn't. It doesn't help at all. I think it helped that you got Brandon out

there. No way. The least you know, the better. I mean, I think that, you know,

the over -planning, the constant, like, you know, racking your brain, like, what

am I going to do? You know, building strategies.

It kills you. I mean, it totally kills you. I think going into it just kind of

relaxed and like, ah, whatever, you know, kind of flying under the radar. I

think that's the best way to do it. With all due respect, let me hear from the

front row on this.

Does it help?

I think it helps. I watched the other survivors, not religiously, but I

them, and it definitely helped me figure out, you know, which way to go. Maybe

you watched Rudy, right?

And then you figured out just how to do it correctly, right?

There's Rudy with us today.

Nice seeing you, Rudy.

We're going to come on back in just a little bit and close up here. First,

take a break as our Survivor Africa reunion continues live from Los Angeles.

And you and your band got a new recording contract, yeah? That's right.

Lucky Dog, just got a record deal. How tough is it going to be now to return to

normal life? Do you still get stopped at the supermarket and everything else?

Yeah. It's wonderful. Really? You like it? It's a blast. It's so much fun. I

mean, people still get so excited.

It's just so much fun. If you're a people person.

It's, you know, it's a dream come true. If you're not a people person, oh, it's

a nightmare. And you made friends to last a lifetime. Ethan, you had the

word, you get the last.

How are you going to spend the money?

Well, I owe my brothers probably about 27 years worth of birthday presents, so

think I'm going to start there.

Yeah. But I like to, you know, I like to do something good. It's a dream come

true. Yeah, it's a dream come true. Congratulations. Guys, congratulations

all of you. Diane, Jesse, Carl, Linda, Silas, Lindsay.

Clarence, T -Bird, Kim, Frank, Brandon, Kelly, Big Tom, Lex, Kim J.,

and Ethan.

Congratulations, guys.

I'm Bryant Gumbel. The tribe has spoken. Good night.
